Sometimes people perceive the bright holiday of May 9 as a reason to drink, laugh and tear their shirts on their chests out of pride for their grandfathers. Life advises to spend this day in such a way that you do not feel painfully ashamed in front of the veterans.

Do not do it this way:

Don't tie yourself with a St. George's ribbon from head to toe. No bows, laces, or black and orange ties.

Don’t decorate your car with stickers with ridiculous inscriptions: “To Berlin!”, “I’m going to ram,” “You can’t see a dirty tank in battle.” There is nothing worse than a Volkswagen with the sticker “Friends! Don’t shoot! Captured car!”

Don't watch modern war films: in most cases this is not art, but commerce. Better watch the classic films: “Ivan’s Childhood”, “Twenty Days Without War” or “Ordinary Fascism”. They will never become outdated.

Don't knock back front shots at the dacha. By drinking like a pig, you are unlikely to honor the memory of your ancestors. Better stay in the city and congratulate the veterans.

Do not warm your hands by the Eternal Flame and do not light a cigarette from it, like a resident of Armavir, who was arrested for 12 days because of this.

Don't twerk near memorials. Remember the famous dance of girls from Novorossiysk near Malaya Zemlya. This cost them 15 days in prison.

Don't take pictures on a tank with a duck face.

Do not celebrate Victory Day at a discotheque, the poster of which depicts half-naked girls in military uniform, as in the announcement of the Tatarstan club.

How to correctly:

As a sign of remembrance and as a symbol of pride at the beginning of the weekend, tie one St. George's ribbon to your bag or attach it to your outerwear. And go study military equipment at the Kubinka Tank Museum. Here are collected the best examples of armored vehicles of various sizes, shapes, colors and countries, for example, Soviet, German, Japanese and American. You will learn about the exploits of tankers, what the T-34 is famous for and what its shortcomings are, what kind of slogans were written on the tanks.

Another film that deserves attention is “The Ballad of a Soldier” by Grigory Chukhrai, which will be shown at 15:00 in “Illusion” on May 7. The film is about what a wonderful person the main character could have become and how the war cut short his plans.

Much has been told and shown about the hostilities, but what is known about how and where fateful decisions for the country were made? The historical and documentary exhibition "1941. At the Victory Headquarters" in the New Manege reconstructs the interiors of the offices of top officials, where their strategic battles took place. Feel like one of the commanders at a meeting at the headquarters of Supreme Commander Stalin, where his correspondence with the leaders of the anti-Hitler coalition Roosevelt and Churchill, documents on the Yalta and Potsdam conferences, maps of military operations with the leader’s notes are kept.

Spend the second day of the weekend at one of the main venues of this weekend - Victory Park. Start with the Central Museum of the Great Patriotic War, whose exhibition covers all stages of the fighting and will help you understand their chronology thanks to a computer database that provides comprehensive information about each battle and feat. The museum contains weapons, awards, uniforms, front-line letters and photographs that once belonged to Soviet soldiers.

On Poklonnaya Hill, the festive events will begin with a traditional festival, at which performances will be performed by creative teams of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.If you meet any veterans here, give them a happy holiday and thank them, and ask them a few questions about their service during the war. They will be pleased that people are interested in their fate.

And from 17:00 watch the performance of the Cavalry Honorary Escort of the Presidential Regiment and sing along with the performers of military songs at the festive concert until late in the evening.

On May 9, go straight to Tverskaya, to the very heart of the parade. First, get off at the Pushkinskaya metro station, where a huge crowd will be waiting for you. Your goal is to get through it and get as close as possible to the road along which military equipment will move to Red Square. The rule “I sit high, I look far” works here: a year ago the most desperate citizens climbed lampposts, to get a better look at tanks and armored vehicles. If you are not ready to become an urban climber, perch yourself on a truck - from there all the parade tanks will be clearly visible.

After the parade, buy carnations; there are plenty of flower shops on Pushkinskaya, and when you meet veterans along the way, give them flowers with words of gratitude.

Dining on this day is allowed only in the military field kitchen, which is located on Old Arbat. The menu includes soldier's porridge and naval pasta. Have time to have lunch by 13:00 - the beginning of the “Immortal Regiment” campaign. Don't forget to arrange the banner in advance. If there are no war veterans in your family, you can still join the procession to honor the memory of fallen soldiers.

And from 18:00 until the fireworks in Novopushkinsky Square, remember the feat of ordinary soldiers to the songs of the war years at the “Songs of Victory” concert in the company of the groups “The End of the Film” and VIA “Tatyana”.

Such a solemn day needs to be completed beautifully and traditionally - there are 15 sites in Moscow where you can watch the fireworks.

“In commemoration of the victorious completion of the Great Patriotic War of the Soviet people against the Nazi invaders and the historical victories of the Red Army, culminating in the complete defeat of Nazi Germany, which declared unconditional surrender, to establish that May 9 is a day of national celebration - VICTORY HOLIDAY.
May 9th is considered a non-working day."

Chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR M. KALININ.
Secretary of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR A. GORKIN.

Appeal from Comrade I.V. Stalin to the people:

"Comrades! Compatriots and compatriots!

The great day of victory over Germany has arrived. Nazi Germany, brought to its knees by the Red Army and the troops of our allies, admitted itself defeated and declared unconditional surrender.

Knowing the wolfish behavior of the German bosses, who consider treaties and agreements to be empty pieces of paper, we have no reason to take their word for it. However, this morning, German troops, in pursuance of the act of surrender, began to lay down their arms en masse and surrender to our troops.

Now we can rightfully declare that the great day of the final defeat of Germany has arrived, the day of the great victory of our people over German imperialism.

The great sacrifices we made in the name of freedom and independence of our Motherland, the innumerable hardships and suffering experienced by our people during the war, the intense work in the rear and at the front, given to the altar of the Fatherland, were not in vain and were crowned with complete victory over the enemy. The centuries-old struggle of the Slavic peoples for their existence and their independence ended in victory over the German invaders and German tyranny.

From now on, the great banner of freedom of peoples and peace between peoples will fly over Europe.

Three years ago, Hitler publicly declared that his tasks included the dismemberment of the Soviet Union and the separation from it of the Caucasus, Ukraine, Belarus, the Baltic states and other regions. He bluntly stated: “We will destroy Russia so that it can never rise again.” This was three years ago. But Hitler’s extravagant ideas were not destined to come true - the course of the war scattered them into dust. In fact, what happened was exactly the opposite of what the Nazis were raving about. Germany is completely defeated. German troops capitulate. The Soviet Union is celebrating victory, although it has no intention of either dismembering or destroying Germany.

Comrades! The Great Patriotic War ended with our complete victory. The period of war in Europe is over. A period of peaceful development began.

Happy victory to you, my dear compatriots and compatriots! Glory to our heroic Red Army, which defended the independence of our Motherland and won victory over the enemy! Glory to our great people, the victorious people! Eternal glory to the heroes who fell in battles with the enemy and gave their lives for the freedom and happiness of our people!"

A comment:

The celebration of May 9 was established in 1945; until 1947, May 9 was a non-working day. At the end of 1947, May 9 was declared a working day. Until 1964, that is, throughout the “Khrushchev era,” May 9 remained a working day, but it was celebrated as Victory Day in the Patriotic War. And again May 9 became a non-working holiday only in 1965, the year of the 20th anniversary of the Victory.

S. Ya. Marshak

8 May 1945 at 22:43 Central European Time (9May at 00:43 Moscow time) in the Berlin suburb of Karlshorst, the Act of Military Surrender of the German Armed Forces was signed. On behalf of the German Supreme High Command, the act was signed by the Chief of Staff of the Supreme High Command of the Wehrmacht, Field Marshal W. Keitel, the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, Admiral of the Fleet von Friedeburg, and Colonel General of Aviation G. Yu.Stumpf. The Soviet Union was represented by the Deputy Supreme Commander-in-Chief, Marshal of the Soviet Union G. K. Zhukov , Allies - British Air Chief Marshal A. Tedder. The commander of the US Strategic Air Forces, General K. Spaats, and the Commander-in-Chief of the French Army, General J. M. Delattre de Tassigny, were present as witnesses.

8 May 1945 even before the signing of the act of surrender I.V. Stalinsigned a decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR on the proclamation of 9 May Victory Day.

"On the night of 9 May 1945 Muscovites did not sleep. AT 2At one o'clock in the morning the radio announced that an important message would be broadcast. At 2:10 a.m. Dr. Yuri Levitan read the Act of Military Surrender of Nazi Germany and the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR on the announcement of 9May Day of national celebration - Victory Day. People ran out of their houses... joyfully congratulating each other on the long-awaited victory. Banners appeared. There were more and more people, and everyone moved to Red Square. A spontaneous demonstration began. Joyful faces, songs, dancing to the accordion. In the evening there was a fireworks display: thirty salvos from a thousand guns in honor of the great Victory” (war correspondent Alexander Ustinov).

That day the newspaper"Is it true" wrote: “The ninth of May! Soviet people will never forget this day. How will he not forget June 22, 1941 A century passed between these dates. And as happens in folk epics, during this time the Soviet people grew fabulously. He grew up so that a Red Army soldier standing by a waving banner in Berlin is visible to the whole world. We did not wait for the twenty-second of June. But we longed for the day to come when the final blow would knock down the black monster that had insulted life. And we dealt this blow... My soul is incredibly joyful today. And the night sky over Moscow seems to radiate a reflection of the joy that the Soviet land is full of. We witnessed events about which volumes could be written. But today we fit them all into one word: victory!..”

June 24, 1945 The first Victory Parade took place on Red Square in Moscow. The parade was hosted by Marshal G.K. Zhukov, the parade was commanded by MarshalK. K. Rokossovsky. Regiments of the Belarusian, Leningrad, Karelian, and Ukrainian fronts, as well as a combined regiment of the Navy, marched along Red Square. The columns were headed by the commanders of these regiments. Heroes of the Soviet Union carried flags and banners of units that distinguished themselves in the war. At the end of the parade, 200 soldiers carried fascist banners bowed to the ground and threw them onto a special platform at the foot of the Lenin Mausoleum.

From 1948 to 1964 9 May was a normal working day. In the year of the 20th anniversary of the Victory, the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR issued a decree declaring 9May is a non-working holiday; On Red Square in Moscow, for the first time since the end of the war, a parade of troops and military equipment of the Moscow garrison was held

Until 1995, parades on Red Square on Victory Day were held only in anniversary years - in 1965, 1985 and 1990. Then they began to be held annually; Since 2008, military equipment has again begun to participate in parades.

Victory Day or May 9 is a celebration of the victory of the Soviet army over Nazi Germany in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945.

First day of victory

The first Victory Day in history was celebrated by the Soviet people on May 9, 1945. On the occasion of the celebration, a Victory Salute was organized in Moscow - 30 victorious salvoes fired from thousands of anti-aircraft guns. There was no military parade that day, which, however, is not surprising. It took place on Red Square only a month and a half later - on June 24, and this entire period of time was spent on the necessary preparations.

The photo shows the first victory day in history - May 9, 1945. Neither the people nor the current government had time to prepare for the holiday, but that didn’t matter at all! The Soviet people were happy because the most long-awaited day had arrived - the day of the end of the Great Patriotic War.

Brief history of the holiday

The day after the death of A. Hitler, May 1, 1945, the German command decided to negotiate a truce with the USSR, but I. Stalin stated that he would only be satisfied with unconditional surrender. There was no response from Germany, after which the Soviet army dealt a crushing blow to Berlin. On the morning of May 2, Berlin was captured by Soviet soldiers, but the hostilities did not end there: German troops resisted for several more days.

The act of unconditional surrender was signed on the night of May 9, and in the morning a Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR was issued declaring May 9 the Victory Day and an official holiday.

May 9 in the USSR

The photo shows a military parade in honor of Victory Day on Red Square during the Soviet era.

After the end of the Second World War, Victory Day or May 9 from 1945 to 1948 was an official holiday and a non-working day, but later the day off was canceled. Only 20 years after the victory, when Brezhnev came to power, the May 9 holiday again became a day off.

How Victory Day is celebrated in modern Russia

The photo shows a military parade on Red Square after the collapse of the USSR.

After the collapse of the USSR, the first military parade on Red Square took place in 1995 in honor of the anniversary of the Victory, after which the festive procession became an annual event. Since 2008, the parade has been held with the participation of military equipment.

Victory Day traditions

The photo shows fireworks on Red Square in honor of Victory Day (May 9).

The main traditions of Victory Day include:

• Laying flowers at the monument to war heroes or the unknown soldier;
• A minute of silence in memory of the fallen soldiers;
• A festive parade that is held in all major cities;
• Festive fireworks in the evening, usually at 22 o'clock.

St. George Ribbon

The picture shows the St. George ribbon.

A new attribute of Victory Day is the St. George Ribbon, made of two colors: orange and black. It is believed that black symbolizes gunpowder, and orange symbolizes fire, but the ribbon itself is not directly related to the Second World War.

The history of the ribbon takes us back to the reign of Empress Catherine II, who established the soldier's Order of St. George the Victorious, and with it the St. George's Ribbon in 1769 during the Russian-Turkish War. The ribbon was complemented by the motto: “For service and courage” and it was awarded to the most courageous and loyal soldiers of the Russian Empire as an encouragement. The ribbon was not just a symbol - it was accompanied by lifelong payments to the owner, after whose death the ribbon was inherited. It could be confiscated from the owner in the most exceptional cases, for example, in case of a gross violation of the law.

This combination of colors became a symbol of courage and courage, and therefore was widely used in the design of military orders and awards after the end of the empress’s reign.

Since 2005, St. George ribbons have been distributed free of charge in public places to everyone who wants to honor the memory of fallen soldiers and express admiration for the courage of veterans of the Great Patriotic War.
